Can anyone out there offer any citations or personal experiences or
opinions on the advantages for using Library of Congress Classification
versus Dewey Decimal in special collections.
Currently, we use Dewey, but feel that our patrons would be better served
and would cause less grief for the staff if we used LC instead.
Thanks.
